Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon coconut oil, or as needed; 1/3 cup arrowroot powder; 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 12 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels; 6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces; 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 3 large eggs; 1 cup chopped pecans

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with coconut oil.
2
Whisk arrowroot, cocoa powder, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
3
Combine chocolate morsels and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
4
Stir palm sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl with the melted chocolate. Blend in eggs 1 at a time until combined. Add arrowroot mixture and stir vigorously until mixture is smooth and begins to pull away from sides of the bowl. Blend pecans into batter.
5
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool.
7
Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
